ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS

Effective August 11, 2008, H. Patrick Seale, 54, was appointed as Chief Operating Officer of Doral Energy Corp. (the “Company”).

Mr. Seale was previously the President and Executive Vice President of SPI Operations LLC, of Midland, Texas, where he was a founder and spent seven years directing SPI's production and reserve growth. While at SPI, Mr. Seale was responsible for the management and direction of SPI’s engineering, development, production, and field operations. SPI's reserves eventually reached 15 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) in ten West Texas projects. SPI achieved its growth through strategic acquisitions of under-producing and under-developed properties with potential for exploitation of both existing wells and proved undeveloped reserves. Prior to his departure, Mr. Seale engineered the sale of a majority interest in SPI's largest project.

Previously, Mr. Seale was Vice President of Engineering for the North American Oil and Gas Unit of NatWest Markets, the corporate and investment banking division of National Westminster Bank, PLC. In this role, Mr. Seale evaluated the economic feasibility of energy projects and helped determine the size of the bank's reserve-based lending facilities for projects throughout the world.

Mr. Seale previously gained international operations and development experience as Vice President of Operations for both Concept Energy Corporation in Colombia and Frontera Resources Corporation in the Republic of Georgia and the Azerbaijan Republic. In these roles he created development and drilling plans, managed production and drilling operations, and worked with international banks and investors to obtain equity and debt financing. He was also Vice President of Engineering for Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. (NYSE: COG), managing the 800 Bcfe reserve base held by $4 billion market cap Cabot. Mr. Seale began his career with Exxon after graduating with Highest Honors in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.

The Company’s executive officers are appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors and hold office until removed by the Board of Directors.

The Company has agreed to pay Mr. Seale a salary of $15,000 per month.
